To-do this weekend: Local films, Legos and the Boxer Rebellion

1 – Local Sightings Film Festival
This festival is the Northwest Film Forum’s showcase of local talent, featuring fiction, documentary and experimental films of all lengths. This year’s lineup features films from Anchorage to Portland. A must see: “About Face” by a filmmaker in Alaska tells the story of a young woman struggling to cope with a life-altering injury inflicted by her mother.Time: Friday through WednesdayLocation:Northwest Film Form

2 – The Boxer Rebellion
This is the first U.S. tour for the Boxer Rebellion, a band that’s getting a lot of attention lately — and not just because they were in a movie with Drew Barrymore. Fun trivia fact: The band gets its name from an anti-colonialist uprising in China near the start of the 20th century.Time: 8 p.m. SaturdayLocation:Crocodile Cafe

3 – Henry Open House
School is back in session, and the University of Washington’s Henry Art Gallery is kicking things off with an open house. Get all artsy-fartsy with an artists’ talk, then check out new and ongoing exhibits, hear some music and eat a cupcake or two.Time: 5 p.m. SaturdayLocation:Henry Art Gallery

4 – EOTO
Lady GaGa wishes she could sound even a little like this. EOTO is an electronic jam band that improvises and remixes on the spot. No performance sounds the same, so go again if you’ve already seen the duo.Time: 8 p.m. SaturdayLocation:Neumos

5 – Salmon Days
If you’re looking for a family-friendly event, Salmon Days is an autumn staple in the Puget Sound region. Part street fair, part parade, this annual celebration isn’t nearly as fishy as the name might have you believe.Time: Saturday and SundayLocation:Issaquah

6 – BrickCon
What is it with adults and toys? I’d say they should grow up already, but it turns out adults are way better at playing than children. This event shows you Legos in a whole new light. Don’t forget to watch where you step; you know how much it hurts to step on a Lego.Time: Friday through MondayLocation:Seattle Center

7 – Northwest Tea Festival
I’d like to think this festival will be like a scene from “Alice in Wonderland,” but maybe without the tea-party rudeness. In reality, it’s a gathering of self-proclaimed tea nerds who get together to talk and learn about the one of the world’s oldest beverages.Time: Saturday and SundayLocation:Northwest Rooms, Seattle Center

8 – The Black Keys
The show is sold out, but it’s worth mentioning in case you’re in the market for second-hand tickets. The Black Keys have been compared to the White Stripes more than they’d probably like to admit, but their new album “Brothers” helps set them apart. Expect an energetic show.Time: 8 p.m. SaturdayLocation:Paramount Theatre
